Sos

Somber clouds prelude the inner and outer storm Unleashed by the fury contained for a long time Suddenly trapping mind of shallop's captain Fighting with zest the tides that menaced to sink Dreams nurtured for years with illusions and hope Sending a SOS message to save the souls that sail Searching for the light that illuminate their paths Gust winds howled as a wolf in prey hunting Eerily announcing the feared ending of sailors Praying to be saved and promising to change Leaving behind unconfessable acts hidden When the sign of lighthouse guided the captain Arriving to a safe haven in the middle of the night Celebrating a new opportunity to live in the light For Lighthouse Poetry Contest Sponsored by Eve Roper First Place July 27, 2017
